Description
Beating the Odds: Jump-Starting Developing Countries
How poor countries can ignite economic growth without waiting for global action or ideal local conditions is a paradox that has puzzled experts. In this book, two leading development economists explore this conundrum and offer a practical solution to help move poor countries out of the low-income trap.
They challenge mainstream development thinking and provide a blueprint for rapid economic growth in countries lacking essential preconditions such as good infrastructure and institutions.
